The "Mexican problem" in Rogers is the issue that put our knuckle-dragging Teabagger chucklehead on the road to Congress. How dare anybody say that Mexicans serve no purpose?

RE "That is complete and utter BS."As I've tried to point out to you before, being a veteran does not automatically give people special qualifications for anything besides veteran's benefits. A dolt is a dolt-- veteran or not.

RE: "The 'Mexican problem' in Rogers by Kitty"I merely point out that 101stvet and rufusmccoy overlook the potential of having all of those "illegals" in town. For example, Mr. Womack managed to present all of the "Mexicans"-- American citizen, resident alien and illegal alike-- as a problem, instead of getting off on the wrong foot by calling all Mexicans "illegals".

If Rogers can get such a fine statesman out of a nonexistent problem, then somebody in Springdale should be able to exploit "Mexicans" in a prodigious manner as well. That somebody will, of course, have to have more discernment than 101stvet or rufusmccoy.

Speaking of Womack and his predecessor:Where are they when Spdle needs some highway money for these interstate overpasses?

Boozer whined, himmed and hawed when it came to getting money for the Tyson Blvd connection to 540. These guys are near useless for highways in this regionand both are in the majority House party who controls the funds.

I noticed Womack had no problem securing 10 million for a special access road to Walmart in Benton county. But Springdale, which votes 60% Repub, gets nothing.

I am all for the widening of the Elm Springs Bridge. But do you think they could spend a few hundred bucks on an additional stop sign where Wagon Wheel meets Puppy Creek Rd. Traffic backup would be decreased since Wagon Wheel traffic could stop and go, rather than waiting on the off ramp traffic. Just a thought.

"RE To Tankersley 101 You must be a namvet who came home to become a liberal war protester! Your views smell of the old vets hippe!"

Oh really. You obviously must not read most of the discussion here. No, I've more often been labeled as one of those darned winger Neo-Cons.

I was in OIF I (2003) w/ the 101 by the way, hardly the a shau valley. That was one of my 6 deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. That doesn't include my years of experience across Europe building partnerships w/ our NATO allies.
